Can ladies fight and is it worth training?

WOMAN VS MAN
Article By Author: Robert W. Young
A popular debate focuses on whether women should practice the martial arts and, if they do, whether they have any real hope of defending themselves against a man.
This is far from a trivial discussion. If the techniques taught in martial arts classes do not function when an average woman tries to apply them on the street, that means most of the women and many of the men who are learning the martial arts for self-defense may be wasting their time.

To help readers arrive at some conclusions, Black Belt examined the issue of whether women can defend themselves with typical martial arts techniques and, if so, which techniques they can depend on in a street encounter.
For expert advice, we went to Los Angeles-based fighter Mimi Lesseos. Hers is a name you may not recognize, but after reading this article and studying the photos, we believe it is one you will not soon forget.

Ella Maria Palfrey has a 2nd dan black belt in kickboxing. She is a genuine female martial artist. You can see an interveiw we did with Ella HERE But, Ella also works undercover as one of the Kandy girls……

Kickasskandy is a tongue in cheek female secret agent/good versus evil/female vs male clip site where for some reason the women high kicking martial artists always seenm to beat the males !!…. It’s nothing to do with the cat suits and high boots i’m told…the female fighters are just better !!… We will let you guys decide that !! There is no nudity or bad language…just some cheesy one liners (Remember it is just for fun..so enjoy it or don’t go there)!
